  • A Lawyer Says That “If You See Any of Those Baggy Pants It Was Huge Mr
    1. In a scene from this work entitled “Trial One,”a lawyer says that “if you see any of those baggy pants it was huge Mr. Moscone.” This work is divided into smaller sections called “knee plays,” one of which features its protagonist announcing the death of Harvey Milk, and Act 3 of this opera contains the section “I Feel the Earth Move,” a reference to the protagonist’s home of (*) San Francisco. While the protagonist of this musical is not as committed to nonviolence as the man its composer originally wanted to put at its center, Mahatma Gandhi, she authored a 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban and has since worked to promote gun control legislation in the Senate. For 10 points, name this minimalist opera about the senior female senator from California, by Philip Glass. ANSWER: Dianne Feinstein on the Beach 2. This book criticizes Mill and de Tocqueville for “devaluing the consequences of a process they favored for the sake of principle,” and its preface quotes Samuel Johnson that “he who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.” The narrator discusses the rise of cultural consumption while he travels in a 650 Lightning in L.L. Bean shorts and a Butte sheepherder’s jacket, and this work argues that the center of debate and discourse has moved to (*) coffee shops, where people meet to consume drugs like LSD and mescaline. It was inspired by the author’s attempts to interview the activist Oscar Acosta for Rolling Stone, and it was originally published with illustrations from his previous partner on “The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved.” For 10 points, name this work of “gonzo journalism” by Jurgen Habermas.

Brock, ‘Traducer’ from New Zealand Country Journal.4:1 (1880). A Social and Cultural History of the New Zealand Horse A Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History Massey University, Albany, New Zealand Carolyn Jean Mincham 2008 i Abstract Both in the present and the past, horses have a strong presence in New Zealand society and culture. The country’s temperate climate and colonial environment allowed horses to flourish and accordingly became accessible to a wide range of people. Horses acted as an agent of colonisation for their role in shaping the landscape and fostering relationships between coloniser and colonised. Imported horses and the traditions associated with them, served to maintain a cultural link between Great Britain and her colony, a characteristic that continued well into the twentieth century. Not all of these transplanted readily to the colonial frontier and so they were modified to suit the land and its people. There are a number of horses that have meaning to this country. The journey horse, sport horse, work horse, warhorse, wild horse, pony and Māori horse have all contributed to the creation of ideas about community and nationhood. How these horses are represented in history, literature and imagery reveal much of the attitudes, values, aspirations and anxieties of the times.

  • The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass Part VIII How Christ Said the First Mass Fr
    The Holy Sacrifice Of The Mass Part VIII How Christ Said The First Mass Fr. James L. Meagher, D.D. 1906 Meaning Of The Bitter Herbs The stately Liturgy and service of the Temple of Christ’s day were but an extension of the patriarchs’ Passover. The patriarchal Passover with the roasted lamb foretelling the crucifixion, and the unleaven bread of the Last Supper and the Mass, had come down from prehistoric times to the Hebrews living in Egyptian bondage. But the night of their delivery God ordered bitter herbs to be added to the rite to remind them of the bitter slavery the race had suffered in the Nile-land. Later God revealed to them His laws, established the tabernacle ceremonial built on the simpler ceremonial of their fathers, the patriarchs. But as ages passed over the world, inspired prophets added new rites, new objects, and a wealth of details to the Passover and the Temple worship, each filled with types, figures and emblems of the crucifixion and the Mass. The unleaven bread developed into the feast of unleaven bread celebrated for a week. But to show that the crucifixion and the Mass are one and the same sacrifice, this series of festivals was interwoven into the Passover held the first night. Thus Passover and feast of unleaven bread, often called by the same name, were never separated, always intermingled one with another.1 Now let us see the other foods eaten at Passover and their mystic meaning, remarking that history is silent regarding the epoch when they were introduced.

ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, open 3 National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs, or refuges) to hunting, open 1 NWR to sport fishing, increase the hunting activities available at 26 NWRs, increase sport fishing activities at 4 NWRs, and add pertinent refuge- specific regulations for other NWRs that pertain to migratory game bird hunting, upland game hunting, big game hunting, and sport fishing for the 2018–2019 season. Through these openings and expansions, we open or expand an additional 251,000 acres to hunting and sport fishing within the Refuge System resulting in an estimated increase of 17,575 user days yielding approximately $711,000 in recreation-related expenditures. By having ripple effects throughout the economy, these direct expenditures yield a total economic impact of approximately $1.6 million. DATES: This rule is effective [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].
